Abstract

With the widespread of Mobile Phone E-Dictionary in English class, its impact should not be overlooked. The research is set out to find out the influence of E-Dictionary on Chinese-English translation based on a comparative analysis of lexical richness in texts before and after the use of E-Dictionary. The research finds: on one hand, using E-Dictionary will lengthen the texts of medium and low level students, reflecting a certain increase in their translating willingness and confidence; on the other hand, using E-Dictionary will help increase the lexical variation and their lexical frequency profile, indicating that students intentionally use relatively higher-end words with the help of E-Dictionary.
